Fisheries / fly fishing in the seychelles | | French term or phrase: brider | Once you have hooked the fish:
Il ne reste plus qu’à s’accrocher à la canne et brider le plus possible avec le frein serré au maximum.
I've really been trawling the net to try to find this but I think I must be too tired to see straight any more.
I shall be asking frein in my next question.
Thanks in advance. |

| | English translation:hold back, tether | Explanation:
I'm sure there's a more specific word for this in angling, but looking at the use of "brider" on the Ouèbbhe, I get the impression it means NOT playing the fish (letting the line out, reeling it in, letting it out, reeling it in) but rather "keeping it on a short tether" so that it cannot get into fast moving water, dive deep, snag the line on roots or rocks, etc.
"Tether" is used for when a fish DOES succeed in breaking the line but still has the hook in its mouth and the loose line snags on something, so it dies tethered.

Just spoke to an English fisherman friend (unminted) who understands the concept - use the drag or clutch on the reel to make it hard or impossible for the fish to pull out more line - but doesn't know a word for it. |
